Madame Bovary

Madame Bovary is a masterpiece that deals with the trapped life and inner world of the 19th century French woman in a very transparent way, while also holding a mirror to the relations between men and women of the period.

The young and beautiful Madame Bovary, who is stuck in the suffocating rural life after marrying a mediocre doctor, does not agree to accept unhappiness as a fate. They have big dreams and big expectations from life; He lives with longing for the passion and romantic fantasies in the novels he reads and does not hesitate to make any sacrifices on his way to find the ideal love he is looking for.

The novel, which tells about Madam Bovary's struggle and the impasse she is dragged into, questions the concepts of marriage, sexuality and wealth behind a passionate story. Madame Bovary, which caused a great stir when it was first published in 1857 and was tried to be banned on the grounds that it shook the society's understanding of religion and morality, is a strong criticism against the morality and bourgeois values of 19th century France.

"Just as poets are grateful to spring, novelists should be grateful to Flaubert. Everything begins again with him."
